Who says soup can't be an entree? Not chili, not stew, but a nice Black Bean Shrimp Soup.
This recipe is no more difficult than throwing a bunch of ingredients in a pot left to simmer on the stove top, and results in a hearty dinner thanks to the beans, veggies and jumbo shrimp.
Don't let the clam juice throw you (and don't smell it before adding it to the pot). The final product doesn't have a fishy taste at all and is great with a dollop of sour cream and shredded cheese on top, and a side of warm corn tortillas.
The soup is even better re-heated the next day.
